**Chapter 73 Tang Hao's Grim Face**
Looking at the familiar figure of Tang Hao, Gu Ziyi's eyes darkened slightly.
He hadn't forgotten what Bai Lu had written in her letter to him, mentioning that Tang Hao had initially wanted to come back and beat him up. He also remarked that if Tang Yuehua were with him as her companion, it would be an insult to their sect.
So, Gu Ziyi looked at Tang Hao with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
If he had the chance, he certainly wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.
However, Gu Ziyi also knew very well that if he faced Tang Hao head-on right now, he would definitely be defeated; he still wasn't a match for him.
Therefore, this Soul Master Competition is an opportunity to take on Tang Hao and win the championship, hurting his pride.
Gu Ziyi believed that, if successful, he could emotionally sting and disgust Tang Hao.
This is one of the reasons he's so interested in this competition!
As for killing Tang Hao, that would be too extreme, as the two of them didn't harbor such deep hatred between them.
Moreover, even though Tang Chen had retired, he was still in the Haotian Sect!
"Members of both teams can now enter the arena. Please release your Martial Souls!"
"...Now, I declare the start of the battle."
After the referee's announcement, the match for the Haotian Team began.
Their opponent was the Armored Elephant Team, another extreme team. All their members were disciples of the Armored Elephant Sect, with Diamond Mammoth as their Martial Soul, renowned for its incredible defense!
Faced with the Haotian Team, all team members formed a defensive formation, defending with all their might.
They wanted to exhaust the Haotian Team's Soul Power and then counterattack.
Therefore, this battle directly turned into a battle of attrition between the teams.
The defense of the Armored Elephant Team was astounding; it was very difficult for the Haotian Team to break through it in a short time!
"First Soul Skill: Diamond Noble Ring!"
"Second Soul Skill: Wind Noble Ring!"
"Third Soul Skill: Power Noble Ring!"
Tang Yuehua first added three auxiliary rings to the team members in time, enhancing their strength, speed, and Soul Power.
As for her fourth soul skill, Rock Noble Ring, she hadn't released it because her team didn't need to increase their defense just yet, and she could save some of her Soul Power.
Tang Yuehua, whose Soul Power level was originally not as good as Gu Ziyi's, did exactly what Tang Hao expected, reaching Level 40 shortly before the competition began.
She was now a Level 41 Soul Ancestor.
The effects of her soul skills from her first four Soul Rings are exactly the same as those of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Martial Soul.
This is because the Haotian Sect follows the same path and believes it to be the best path for Auxiliary Soul Masters, as shown by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's legacy formation.
When the Haotian Sect added a Soul Ring to Tang Yuehua, they completely copied the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and used the same soul beasts for their Soul Ring Martial Souls. So, the effect of her soul skills is the same as that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Okay, we see that under the attack of the Haotian Team, the Armored Elephant Team has no strength to fight back and can only defend passively!"
"Let's see how long the Armored Elephant Team can endure this offensive and if they can turn defeat into victory in the end?"
"Let's wait and see!"
"Clearly, with the blessing of Tang Yuehua's soul skills, the Haotian Team's auxiliary Soul Master, the Haotian Team's attacks have become more ferocious."
"It seems that the Armored Elephant Team won't be able to hold on much longer!"
"I believe everyone must be curious. The Haotian Team, which always maintained an extreme style and only included their sect's disciples, has added an auxiliary member to their team this time."
"That's because this woman named Tang Yuehua is not just any member of the Haotian Sect, but also the daughter of the Haotian Sect leader and the younger sister of Tang Hao, the captain of the Haotian Team!"
"Her Martial Soul – Desire Ring, is also a mutated form of the Clear Sky Hammer."
"The reason everyone was unfamiliar with her before this competition is that although Tang Yuehua has incredible innate Soul Power at Level 9, she was unable to practice cultivation."
"So, everyone knows very little about her because the Haotian Sect didn't want outsiders to know about their shortcomings!"
"According to reliable sources, Soul Master Tang Yuehua couldn't practice cultivation until the age of 12. Not even the legendary former sect leader who founded the Haotian Sect with his unparalleled Title Douluo cultivation could solve the problem of his granddaughter's inability to practice cultivation. But now everyone sees that not only is she able to cultivate, but she's also become a powerful Soul Ancestor!"
"All of this is, in fact, related to another person everyone is familiar with."
"That is, the personal disciple of His Majesty the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, named Gu Ziy, whom he accepted many years ago because it was he who helped Tang Yuehua resolve this problem of being unable to cultivate with his own wisdom."
"Gu Ziyi was favored by the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall because of his intelligence!"
"To thank Gu Ziyi, the Haotian Sect even gave him a three-thousand-year-quality soul bone."
After observing the two teams engaging in a brutal battle of attrition, the host suddenly mentioned some personal information about Tang Yuehua.
This is information the host personally gathered.
Because everyone is very interested in learning more about Tang Yuehua, a unique beauty on the Haotian Team.
Why can the other party join Team Haotian? Even though she possesses a different Martial Soul than the rest of Team Haotian?
"Ah..."
"So that's it..."
"It turns out that Gu Ziyi was favored by the Pope because of his intelligence!"
"The Haotian Sect is so generous that they even gave him a soul bone."
"I think they're just being stingy!"
"The value of Tang Yuehua can't be compared to a mere three-thousand-year-old soul bone..."
"…"
The audience present was amazed to learn about Tang Yuehua's information.
Some were surprised by her innate Level 9 Soul Power and inability to cultivate.
Some were also surprised that she actually managed to solve her problem with the help of a Martial Soul Hall disciple.
Some people lamented the generosity of the Haotian Sect.
Some people think the Haotian Sect is stingy.
In short, while everyone learned more about Tang Yuehua, they also got to know Gu Ziyi better.
"Hehe, younger brother, the host knows a lot!"
"Younger brother, look, Tang Hao's face seems to have turned so grim."
Bibi Dong, who came to watch the game with Gu Ziyi, didn't expect to hear these introductions from the host.
Then she saw Tang Hao's face suddenly turn very ugly in the ring, and she quickly told Gu Ziyi.
"Hm!"
Gu Ziyi hummed. He hadn't expected the host to know about this matter. Neither the Martial Soul Hall nor the Haotian Sect had disclosed the solution to Tang Yuehua's inability to cultivate.
It seems that this host has an unusual relationship with the Martial Soul Hall!
As for why the news was being revealed now, Gu Ziyi didn't know. Either way, Qian Xunji had his own ideas.
At this moment, he wanted even more to enjoy Tang Hao's grim expression.
Although the Haotian Sect had been the greatest beneficiary of this matter, Gu Ziyi didn't understand why Tang Hao was so angry about it. (E/N: He's just a very hypocritical person, that's all.)
